We absolutely should not sell Steve Cook (merged: Cook gone to Bournemouth)

[forumwayseagull]

well well....must have some things up our sleeves then..

 

[Man of Harveys]

Well, I'm trying to see the sense in that and I'm failing to. Even if they do buy someone else, what's to say they'll fit in as easily? Bad, bad move.

 

[severnside gull]

good luck...............he has earned his chance and hopefully we have a sell-on?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oh dear

 

[Racek]

Move forward.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Shame as he has a lot of potential but understandable that he'd want regular first team football. I'm sure he'll be an excellent player for them over the coming years

well well....must have some things up our sleeves then..

I doubt it ... just considered "surplus to needs" ... hope I'm wrong

 

[beardy gull]

Good luck to the lad. Goes with my best wishes.

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

That's is a bizarre decision and a real shame

 

[Sam Ovett]

Good luck Cooky! Hopefully I can be able to see him a few times next season when bmth are at home and we are away!

 

[SeagullSongs]

Bollocks! Good luck to him though. Who are we going to play in defence against Wrexham? More development squad players stepping up?

According to Naylor it's £170,000 rising to a possible £300,000.

[Cheeky Monkey]

f*** a duck!

 

[Springal]

Good business, Naylor reckons fee could rise to £300k, and for a player with less than 10 appearances for us, thats good business!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Shambles¬!

 

[beardy gull]

Fee could rise to 300k. Not too shabby.

 

[Seagulls4life]

It was obviously going to happen, Good luck to him!

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Oh well. Fair play to the club for honouring the agreement, letting Cook go to where he'll get football, and getting a few quid hopefully for another of our own. Good luck to the lad as well - he's been extremely patient, performed excellently when he's been called on, and gone to a club where he's already making a name for himself.

Let's be honest - if he'd gone to Bournemouth with our squad a full strength, having not been needed again recently, most people would barely have batted an eyelid.

Edit having read the Bournemouth entry. '...moving to the south coast...'?! Eh? They do know where he's moved from, right? Anyway - I hope we've built in a sell-on clause as well, thinking about it...

Alternatively - here's the Bournemouth link...

I am gutted, but well done the club for honouring their 'gentleman's agreement' with Bournemouth. I seem to recall that a similar agreement was the reason we ended up signing Forster.
